An extraordinary journey of endurance, loss, and hope.

Experience the inspiring true story of Mike Lambert, a former Team GB kayaker who embarked on an epic 2,000-mile solo circumnavigation of the UK coastline. His mission: to break a world record and raise awareness of aortic dissection - a condition that tragically claimed his mother's life.

A film directed by Nigel Morgan and produced by Zarrin Shaikh at the Fresh Heart Project.

Directed by Nigel Morgan and produced by Zarrin Shaikh at the Fresh Heart Project, Pilgrim of the Tides is a powerful short documentary that captures Mike's 2024 summer expedition in his distinctive THINK AORTA branded kayak. Facing some of the world's most formidable tides, Mike's voyage becomes more than a physical challenge; it's a heartfelt tribute and a call to action for a cause close to his heart.

"This epic journey sees Mike and his family battle a ticking clock, towering waves, rough seas, and raw grief as they seek to raise awareness that will save others from suffering the loss that they endured."
